The BYPASS switch is a relay hard-wired bypass that routes the signal directly from the INPUT XLR
to the OUTPUT XLR, without going through any electronics. If the power fails to the 50
th
Anniversary
2500, the BYPASS automatically engages, preventing any loss of signal during the power fault.
BYPASS: Toggle to engaged the hard-wired bypass
• Illuminates in yellow when engaged
NOTE: When the 50
th
Anniversary 2500 is powered off, it is held in the bypass state. When the
compressor is not in the bypass state, the unit behaves normally.
The 2500 Compressor provides
automatic and manual make up gain
functions.
Automatic make up gain allows the
RATIO & THRESH controls to be
adjusted without affecting the
output level.
MANUAL make up gain engages the
GAIN control to allow make gain to
be set manually.
Use the MAKE UP switch to select
MANUAL or automatic make up gain
functions.
